ID: B112

The ports and terminals industry has worked with transaction-based business models for over 100 years. Now it's time to go further. Are you ready to think in a new way and to take the performance of your terminal to the next – guaranteed – level? We at Kalmar believe that performance-based contracts are the way forward in boosting the efficiency of cargo handling. In performance based contracts, for example, the supplier gets paid for completed container moves per hour instead of the number of container handling machines sold or leased. By taking wider responsibility for machines, including also their connectivity, optimization and maintenance, suppliers are able to offer and even guarantee higher levels of performance and availability than with the traditional maintenance models, enabling terminal operators to concentrate on their core business.

In this collaborative workshop, Brian Hibbert of ICTSI and Francesco Del Zompo of Navis will co-present a case study of using historical vessel move information to measure the variance between plan and actual move times, and the potential to use advanced analytics such as Machine Learning to improve plan accuracy by improving the planning parameters. Based on this case study, workshop participants will identify processes within the TOS that rely on manually input parameters, and conceptualize the value potential of improving parameter accuracy through Machine Learning.

When we look at ship operations, we can see that the data management of cargo and vessel performance is a matter of different, non-communicating IT systems, or even worse, manual management (Excel, csv, txt, Word, eg.). How can we overcome those silos? Over the lifecycle of a vessel, there are numerous and different types of data. How can we make the most out of out of this data? Based on use cases from Bluetracker and MACS3 Connected, Bastian will showcase how the improved visibility and availability of operational cargo and vessel data in the cloud foster performance and safety of ship operations.

Open Interfaces in a Terminal Automation Platform

3:05 PM

ID: B217

Until recently, most terminal automation systems have been based on extensive integration of various subsystems and solutions, rather than conceived as complete end-to-end automation systems such as those in other industries. This presentation argues for a systemic approach in designing a terminal automation platform. A key feature of this platform is the availability of new, open application interfaces that enable terminal operators to customize their automation deployments, allowing third-party developers to provide their own offerings that are interoperable with the automation platform. This presentation provides an overview of the new application interfaces that Kalmar is making available and examines some possibilities by which terminals and developers can utilise and benefit from these interfaces.
